Its fine, you start in the morn on 3 days, 2 days not.. which is idea (unless you're a morning person).
Your day is spread out so you don't have too many concecutive hours of class (unless you're the kind of person who doesn't work well with random holes in their classes and don't enjoy being forced to stay on campus; but will probably appreciate it for midterms).
Any change that would be good to have probably isn't even possible.. go into solar and see if any of your courses/timeslots are even able to be moved, most likely there isn't even the option because everything is full, and if they are moveable, there will probably be conflicts (except tuts/labs).

Is it just me, when I click on your images they show too small to read. Zooming in makes them pixelated and is no help, may be you can update with a clearer version?
From the layout that can be seen, your days look nice and spread out. Which is good if you're one of the students that actually focus in class and learn; instead of lying to yourself that being there and daydreaming&writing notes isn't a waste of time. The gaps in between will be a good break. If you are a rare breed that can focus 5 hours straight, it'd be nicer to get your day done without the breaks, but like Ryan mentioned that may not even be possible.
Any further scrutiny is impossible without seeing the exact order of your classes lol, probably can't improve on it much any way because your heavy course load. In all you can rest happily that you don't have 9hour day to deal with.
Edit: The images are clear now. Still looks good, your Wednesday can be crazy if both Chem and D04 labs fall on the same day, hopefully they alternate in your favor. Else, you could try pushing 1 of them to your Friday, especially to the morning. Very likely you'll end up skipping the math tutorials.

Go to your class first, and you'll have clarification on the room and EOW status (if tutorial is first for your section, or lab).. TBA means to be announced, so there is no 'TBA room'. Tutorial room and lab rooms are different.. lab room is the super-secret hard-to-find room in BSB which only has one starwell that leads to it.

When a timetable slot says Lxx (L01, L02, etc) , its a lab, and Txx its a tutorial.. Cxx is class.
Lectures are taught by professors, and tutorials are taught by TAs, and sometimes professors. Labs are almost always done by an assortment of TAs.
